The NEW School for Scanning: Digital Directions -- Deadline Extended

Emails and blog posts about this event have been circulating since January. Originally named the School for Scanning, the event was renamed this year to Digital Directions. Name changes can be difficult, because people may look for the old name and not recognize the new one. NEDCC has promoted this event heavily and I hope people are aware that this Digital Directions is indeed the School for Scanning that has trained many people over the years.

IF YOU ARE EAGER TO LEARN ABOUT DIGITIZATION BASICS, selection of hardware and software, and planning and managing digital projects, the Digital Directions conference is for you!

DIGITAL DIRECTIONS: FUNDAMENTALS OF CREATING AND MANAGING DIGITAL COLLECTIONS is an updated version of NEDCC's School for Scanning, which was first presented in 1995. This popular conference has kept up with evolving standards and practices over the years, and the new name reflects its expanded content, which now encompasses the full life-cycle of digital objects, from planning to creation to sustainability.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Friday, May 30, 2008*Please note* If you are paying by institution or personal check, your registration form and check must arrive at NEDCC no later than Friday, May 30, 2008.

DIGITAL DIRECTIONS VENDOR SHOWCASE:Meet the leading providers of digitization hardware, software, and services to libraries, museums, archives, and other cultural institutions. A great opportunity to ask questions and gather information about a wide range of digital services, new releases, and products currently under development.
